A Private Sanctuary in Patagonia
Set within the vast 14,000-acre Los Huemules Conservation Reserve and bordering Los Glaciares National Park, Explora El Chaltén enjoys a truly privileged location with rare access to Patagonia’s most compelling landscapes and adventures. This remote setting places guests at the threshold of Argentina’s hiking capital, where wilderness unfolds in every direction.

Design Framed by Ice and Mountains
Resting on the banks of the Eléctrico River beneath the imposing Marconi Glacier, the lodge is a contemporary refuge of just 20 rooms. Each offers front-row views over the glistening Marconi Glacier and Eléctrico Valley, while architecture and materials are carefully chosen to respect and integrate with the surrounding environment. Comfort, clarity of design and a deep connection to nature define every space.

Explorations Without Limits
From this ideal base, guests embark on a wide range of guided Explorations, from glacial lagoon hikes to high-mountain ascents. With direct access to a private nature reserve and the greater national park beyond, each journey is thoughtfully curated to immerse guests fully in Patagonia’s raw and dramatic wilderness.

Wellbeing at the Edge of the Wild
After a day outdoors, the lodge offers a serene spa and welcoming communal spaces designed for restoration and reflection. Here, the rhythm of the landscape sets the pace, encouraging rest, renewal and quiet appreciation of the surrounding peaks and ice fields.

Patagonian Flavours by Fire
Gastronomy at Explora El Chaltén is another pathway into regional culture. In the dining room, open-fire cooking takes centre stage, honouring the deeply rooted traditions of Argentine Patagonia. Seasonal ingredients and elemental techniques come together in dishes that reflect both place and heritage, rounding out an experience defined by authenticity and immersion.

Kalesma Mykonos: A Mythical Hideaway in Aleomandra

In the Mykonian region of Aleomandra, named after the sacred Delian stables that once sheltered the horses of Apollo, Kalesma Mykonos rises from the same legendary soil. Rooted in myth, this luxury boutique hotel blends seamlessly with the island’s timeless allure.

The name ‘Kalesma’, meaning ‘inviting’ in Greek, reflects the heart of our ethos. At this exclusive hideaway, we invite travelers to experience a slice of Mediterranean paradise. The hotel’s whitewashed houses are thoughtfully designed to resemble a charming Mykonian village, cascading down a slope toward Ornos Bay, just a short stroll from Ornos Beach. Guests can enjoy a rare treat: panoramic 360-degree views, allowing for both sunrise and sunset from the same spot.

Set on a generous 5-acre property, this 5-star boutique hotel offers panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and features a collection of 4 Kalesma Suites (One-Bedroom), 13 Kalesma Suites Sea View (One-Bedroom), 8 Kalesma Villas Sea View (One-Bedroom), as well as the grand Apollon Villa (Three-Bedrooms) and Artemis Villa (Four-Bedrooms). These accommodations blend local charm with high aesthetics, creating the feel of an authentic Mykonian neighborhood.

Inspired by Cycladic architecture, Kalesma merges tradition with modern sophistication. The minimalist interiors, crafted with locally sourced materials, embody a balance of elegance and simplicity. Kalesma is a place of contrasts: modern yet rooted in tradition, luxurious yet unpretentious, meticulously curated yet effortlessly spontaneous—offering guests the perfect backdrop for a quintessential Mykonian escape.
